Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' game-worn merch prices, Connor McDavid's point streak, Tristan Jarry's return to the lineup, the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, and more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about why Jay still can't show up for the podcast even though he is back from Mexico and technically in the building. According to Chalmers' accounting, Jay has missed eight straight podcasts, and it sounds like Chalmers will not let him off the hook for these absences. Will he ever come back and make another appearance on the Real Life podcast?

Changing gears, the conversation turned to the prices Tyler found on some Oilers game-worn merch that's listed on the team store. As you'll hear, the Price is Right game that Tyler put together for Baggedmilk and Chalmers went precisely as he expected, considering that the other two boys kept coming up way light on their guesses. Sticking with the Oilers, the boys discussed Connor McDavid's point streak and how this is a point in time where our captain is playing so well that Edmonton games are becoming appointment viewing.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Tristan Jarry's return to the lineup, and what the Oilers will do with their goaltending going forward. They also discussed a few strategy points for the upcoming Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, and how the boys want to make some adjustments this year to give themselves the best chance to win.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Christmas delays, sports rink advertising, the World Juniors, and more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Christmas delays and how long we're allowed to accept them as excuses. Tyler has been waiting for parts to fix his toilet, but the company he ordered them from keeps citing the holiday break as the reason he doesn't have them yet. Somehow, that led to a discussion about advertising at the arena and how times have changed so much in the last two decades.

Changing gears, the conversation turned to Connor McDavid's brilliance, and how this 16-game heater he's on is making everyone else look like dopes. From the goals to the shots to the speed, everything is clicking for the captain right now, and there doesn't seem to be much the rest of the league can do about it. Sticking with hockey, the guys walked through Canada's performance at the World Juniors, and whether losing to Czechia for the third straight year should raise alarms with Hockey Canada. Are we losing because hockey is a rich-kid sport? Were the boys thinking about this too much?

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Nation staff spending habits, beefs of the week, Chalmers' New Year's Eve hot tub trouble, and whatever else came to mind. Given that the boys haven't recorded an episode in a few weeks, the last half of the podcast was all over the map. Needless to say, Thursday's episode of real life was all over the map.
